Green Get Going In Late Season Rally for Top

|

As John Belushi so demonstratively states in "Animal House", "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." This motto could have been the new battle cry of the Big Green baseball team during the past week's slew of home games. With their backs against the wall, the Big Green men triumphed in four out of five games this past week while displaying a determination and perseverance not shown yet this season.

An '02 makes a grudging journey to the Boston Marathon

|

I swear I never wanted to run a marathon. As far as I was concerned, running a marathon was one of those things you can always do if you find your life too boring: train real hard for several months, push yourself to new levels of exertion and discover something worthwhile about yourself in the process of resolving the underlying boredom or lameness complex.

Birchall and Pisacano end golf careers

|

The Dartmouth men's and women's golf teams wrapped up their seasons this past weekend with outings at the Rhode Island Spring Invitational and Northeast Championship, respectively. The men truly had a chance to leave an impression on the national stage after a solid team set at the Ivy Championships, but they let the second round get away from them, finishing eighth of 18 in Portsmouth, R.I. Co-captain Lee Birchall '02 carried his team one last time, shooting 80-78 -- 158 to place 17th overall in his final collegiate event.

ACC lax powers coming to town

|

After three Ivy League titles, three NCAA tournaments, two NCAA quarterfinal appearances, numerous All-Ivy and All-America honors and a trip to Australia, the seniors of the Dartmouth women's lacrosse team already have plenty to celebrate this weekend, as they prepare to play their final home games at Scully-Fahey Field.

Softball pours on Providence in five

|

It was a miserable day to be a Providence Friar. The softball team from Rhode Island's capital city traveled 175 miles to Hanover to play only four-and-a-half innings in a torrential downpour and get crushed, 8-0, by the hot-hitting Dartmouth Big Green. The second half of the doubleheader at Sachem Field was cancelled because of the conditions. If the Big Green was bothered by the driving rain that at times seemed to be moving sideways because of the gusting wind, it didn't appear that way.

Lady sailors look to slide into nationals after slipping

|

The members of the Dartmouth women's sailing team have no choice but to sit and wait to hear whether or not they will be going to the ICSA Women's National Championships, due to a disappointing sixth-place finish at the New England Championships this past weekend. The national championships, which will be held at the University of Hawaii on May 27-31, base qualification entirely on one event.

Dartmouth water women get first division crown

The women's water polo team captured the New England Division Championship over the weekend at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Big Green held the top seed going into the tournament and played the sixth and seventh seeds in the first round of play. In the first game, against seventh-seeded Wesleyan, Lauren Wondolowski '04 drew a kick-out and made a pinpoint pass to Samantha Klau '05 for a goal within the first 15 seconds of play.

Avoiding Pain at Home Against Penn(s)

|

There are many cliches that get thrown around quite easily in sports: "must-win game," "now or never," "turning point of the season." Pick your favorite and use it to describe the 18th-ranked Dartmouth women's lacrosse team's home games against the University of Pennsylvania and Penn State University tomorrow and Sunday, respectively.
